Frontiers of Digital Transformation: Applications of the Real-World Data Circulation Paradigm

This book explores the concept of real-world data circulation (RWDC), which emphasizes the importance of non-human, mechanical, and natural sources of data in the modern world. It proposes the insertion of acquisition, analysis, and implementation processes in the flow of data circulation to tame and control the massive amount of data. The book showcases practical and industry-related studies in human, mechanical, and social data domains and illustrates the resulting creation of social value through examples of RWDC. It is useful for researchers, practitioners, and anyone interested in RWDC, digital transformation, and Industry 4.0.

The concept of real-world data circulation (RWDC) is explored in this comprehensive book, presenting a wealth of practical and industry-related studies across human, mechanical, and social data domains. RWDC emerges as a novel field of study, driven by the advancements in information technology (IT). In the ever-evolving digital landscape, the speed of data transmission between computers has surged far beyond the capabilities of human communication, experiencing exponential growth. As a result, the origins of most data now lie in non-human, mechanical, or natural sources, with humans playing a relatively minor role in the current data explosion. This vast expansion of data transmission involves intricate networks connecting numerous sources and destinations, forming a complex circulatory system. Recognizing the significance of this circulation, the authors propose integrating acquisition, analysis, and implementation processes into the flow of data circulation to effectively manage and harness the vast amount of data originating from non-human sources.

This book offers a valuable insight into the realm of RWDC, drawing from the outcomes of a degree program organized at Nagoya University, Japan. It encompasses contributions from graduate students enrolled in the program, representing diverse research fields and targeting a wide range of applications. Through illustrative examples of RWDC, the book showcases the creation of social value, highlighting its potential impact on various industries and society as a whole.

Whether you are a professional working in the fields discussed or an individual interested in RWDC, digital transformation, and Industry 4.0, this book provides valuable insights and perspectives. It serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the evolving landscape of data circulation and its potential for driving innovation and progress.
